Like OceanSt said, it's one of those days where you won't have a meso..but brief spin ups possible. 2008 over Narragansett bay was like that. I was on the beach watching that one form, those were similar conditions (big low level CAPE, lots of low level vorticity) but the shear that day was pretty fantastic for New England. I think that was a case of a supercell putting a tornado down on water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can, if they can make it to the ground. Probably more of your trash barrel tosser, but it is a similar process to landspouts out west that can do EF1 type damage if conditions are right.

There is a case of a completely justified tornado warning, that would go down in the records as a false alarm, despite a clearly tornadic storm.

I always wondered why tornadogenesis occurred after the low level mesocyclone moved off land and over the sound. It occurred just a few hundred yards from the beach.

When you consider that only 10% of all supercells produce tornadoes, something as small as frictional forces could be enough to induce rapid tornadogenesis. Even an RFD moving a few mph faster over water might have been enough to spin the low level meso up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there is an ad at the start Interesting, I didn't realize there were two separate instances of water spouts that summer. I was referencing the July 28 storm, that ended up getting rated EF1 based on damage in Bristol and Swansea. This August 14 case looks more like your classic bottom-up water spout, as opposed to the tornadic case I was referencing earlier. The biggest difference that tipped me off (until I looked at the video information) was the cloud bases (see my avatar picture). July 28 they were super low LCLs, thanks to low 70s dewpoints, and in this video you can clearly see the higher based nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping the EML can weed out the crap convection helping to maintain a better atmosphere for more robust convection. Then again we're gonna need the CAP to break as well.
